My Story

My Home Life: My name is Nairuba Agnes, and I am the mother of Brenda. We live in Nababirye Village in a single-room home. Brenda has one sister and one brother.

At home, Brenda helps with cooking, fetching firewood, and washing utensils. She is a responsible and respectful child.

I am a housewife and stay-at-home mother. My husband works as a fishmonger, selling fish at the village market. Unfortunately, business is not stable—sometimes the fish spoils before it’s sold due to a lack of customers, and we make losses. On a good day, he may earn around 15,000 Ugandan shillings (about $4.29), which is not enough to meet all of our family’s basic needs, including school fees.

Because of this, we are in need of educational support to help Brenda continue her education and build a better future
